Blog - #12 Final Reflection

Final Reflection: 

After taking this course, I have a plethora of mathematical resources regarding the many different strands within the Mathematic Curriculum.
I have lesson plans regarding:

• Number Sense and Numeration
• Patterning and Algebra
• Measurement 
• Data Management and Probability
• Geometry and Spatial Sense

    When reflecting on my teaching process regarding mathematics, I have learned that you need to differentiate your lesson plan in order to meet the needs of all of the students. I have made several connections related to teaching math, doing cross-curricular lessons in order to meet the schema of all the different students. 

   My thinking in J/I mathematics had made me more aware of my own teaching process, and I need to become more reflective on my teaching processes. I had to realize that there is more than one way to teach mathematics, and that my previous way of teaching does not work for all the different learners. Every student learns differently, and I need to become aware of the different instructional strategies used to differentiate each learning style. 

   As a reflective math teacher, I will continue to be aware of the different learning styles , and make my teaching a more interactive process. One of the resources I will need to be constantly reviewing and reflecting on is Growing success. https://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/policyfunding/growSuccess.pdf, this document is key for ensuring the most success for my students.

   As an effective math teacher, I will need to make my teaching environment suitable for  the most success, ensuring a positive learning environment. I will do this by having different cultural awareness posters around my classroom. By modelling cultural inclusiveness within my classroom, I will help the students become an active part in the learning process, leading to improving their abilities as a student, setting their own individual goals and future achievements.
